Why fried patties are greasy and gray: never cook them that way

Homemade fried patties are a dish that is hard to refuse. The ideal products should be golden, fragrant and juicy. But very often this result can not be achieved.

FoodOboz editors will tell you what mistakes make fried patties taste bad. We will also share a few cooking tips.

Laying the patties out on a cold frying pan

It is very good to heat the pan first, and then the oil in it. If you put the products on a cold surface, the patties will have a gray color and the crust will not be crispy.

Frying without salt

When you have already heated the oil, add a little salt to it. This will contribute to the fact that the fat will not splash in different directions, and all the heat will be evenly distributed. Fry the patties on medium heat, almost to a minimum. It is best to fry for 5 minutes on each side. But pay attention to the size of the products.

Frying the patties under a lid

If you cover the patties during frying, they will not be golden and crispy. Condensation will form, through which the products will stew and steam. This cooking process will also take much longer.

Low quality oil

For patties it is very important to choose high-quality oil, so that they turn out moderately fatty. It is better to choose refined oil. This will greatly affect the quality of the dish.
